Riding on the success of the previous year's ceremony which garnered its highest viewership figures in over a decade, the Academy rehired producers Neil Meron and Craig Zadan for the 3rd consecutive yr. "Their showmanship has elevated the evidence to new heights and we are excited to proceed the momentum going with this creative partnership," said AMPAS president Cheryl Boone Isaacs in a printing release announcing the option.[iii] In October 2014, actor Neil Patrick Harris, who previously hosted four Tony Awards ceremonies between 2009 and 2013 and 2 Primetime Emmy Awards telecasts in 2009 and 2013, was chosen equally host of the 2015 gala.[28] Meron and Zadan explained their determination to hire the television and theatre star saying, "We are thrilled to have Neil host the Oscars. We have known him his unabridged developed life, and we have watched him explode as a nifty performer in feature films, television set and stage. To work with him on the Oscars is the perfect tempest, all of his resources and talent meeting on a global stage."[29] Harris expressed that information technology was truly an honour and a thrill to be asked to host University Awards commenting, "I grew upwards watching the Oscars and was always in such awe of some of the greats who hosted the show. To be asked to follow in the footsteps of Johnny Carson, Baton Crystal, Ellen DeGeneres, and everyone else who had the smashing fortune of hosting is a saucepan list dream come true."[thirty]

Shortly afterward his selection, several reports were released indicating that DeGeneres and other comedians such every bit 2005 ceremony host Chris Rock and extra Julia Louis-Dreyfus declined the offer to host the program, and Harris was a final-minute option as emcee.[31] Notwithstanding, both Meron and Zadan denied such allegations and insisted that Harris was their but pick maxim, "After every Oscar show at that place is always a discussion as to who volition host the adjacent one. Many names are discussed and sometimes even floated without in that location being whatsoever formal offers. At times, these casual discussions take on a life of their own, and some are eager to break a story without knowing the facts. Neil Patrick Harris received the Academy's formal offer."[32]

Several other people were besides involved with the production of the ceremony. Stephen Oremus served as musical director and conductor for the event.[27] Derek McLane returned to design a new set and stage design for the prove.[33] During the ceremony, player Channing Tatum introduced a grouping called "Team Oscar", which consisted of six immature picture show students from colleges across the country selected past AMPAS whose role was to deliver Oscar statuettes to the presenters during the gala.[34] Oscar-winning husband-and-wife songwriters Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez composed Harris's opening number entitled "Moving Pictures".[35] Musicians Questlove and Mark Mothersbaugh and actor Volition Arnett fabricated cameos during the performance of Best Original Vocal nominee "Everything Is Awesome".[36]

Racial controversy and criticism regarding lack of diversity [edit]

TV personality Giuliana Rancic apologized to mixed-race actress Zendaya—who wore dreadlocks on the event's red carpet— after commenting that Zendaya's hair must have smelled of "patchouli oil or weed".[41]

Shortly later the nominations were announced, many news media outlets highlighted the lack of racial multifariousness amongst the nominees in major award categories.[42] [43] [44] According to Tatiana Siegel of The Hollywood Reporter, information technology was the second time since 1998 that all xx acting nominees were of Caucasian descent.[45] The New York Times columnist David Carr pointed out the omission of Ava DuVernay and David Oyelowo in directing and lead interim categories. He also noted that these nominations heavily contrasted last yr's nominations that included Best Picture winner 12 Years a Slave and Best Supporting Actress winner Lupita Nyong'o.[46]

As a effect, the University was ridiculed by the Blackness Twitter customs and became the target of hashtag movements such as #OscarsSoWhite and #WhiteOscars.[47] [48] In addition, U.S. Democratic Party Congressman Tony Cárdenas wrote a letter of the alphabet voicing his concerns regarding AMPAS and diversity, stating: "While the effect of diversity in the entertainment industry is a much deeper problem, without an easy solution, information technology is unfortunate to run across such a revered American institution fail to fully reflect our nation." Cárdenas went on to say that he was willing to piece of work with Academy officials in making the entertainment industry more than representative of different ethnicities.[49]

In response to criticism about lack of diversity, AMPAS President Isaacs told reporter Sandy Cohen from the Associated Press that the Academy was "committed to seeking out diversity of vocalisation and opinion."[50] She refrained from addressing the lack of diverseness of that twelvemonth's nominees, although stated that she was proud of all the nominees and praised Selma as a "fantastic motion picture".[50]

Several days before the awards gala, the National Action Network led by civil rights activist Al Sharpton and several other organizations planned to demonstrate nearly the ceremony at the Dolby Theatre before and during the telecast.[51] However, the protestation was canceled in light of DuVernay pleading with black activists to instead pursue a direct dialogue with Academy leadership.[52]

Critical reception [edit]

The prove received a mixed reception from media publications. Some media outlets were more than disquisitional of the show. HitFix goggle box columnist Alan Sepinwall commented, "It ran on and on and on and on and so much that when host Neil Patrick Harris finally got around to paying off a running gag about his Oscar predictions being locked in a box on stage left, he had to stop to explicate the scrap to us all over once more." In add-on, he observed, "Either the product consumed Harris, the writing failed him, or he picked a very foreign night to go off-brand."[53] Hal Boedeker of the Orlando Lookout wrote, "Harris headlined a apathetic production number to start the show. His running shtick about Oscar predictions grew tiresome." He concluded his review saying, "The music saved this Oscar telecast, but it was still a long, tedious evidence. The highlight reel will make it look better than it was."[54] Television critic Alessandra Stanley from The New York Times said, "Oscar nights almost always drag on too long, but this 1 was a slog almost from the very offset." She also quipped, "The political speeches were somber, but they turned out to exist more lively and bracing than any of Harris' skits."[55]

Other media outlets received the broadcast more positively. Boob tube critic Matthew Gilbert of The Boston World commented, "Neil Patrick Harris was very Neil Patrick Harrisy Dominicus night in his kickoff round every bit Oscars host. He was at-home and cheerful and vanilla as usual, always ready with a lightly snarky joke and always eager to spring into a big production number involving old-timey choreography. He'due south a pro at hosting, later his Tony and Emmy gigs, and information technology showed during the ABC telecast in his endlessly relaxed and open energy." He also wrote despite several product gaffes and an uneven stride, the show moved along "with a minimum of pain."[56] The Times-Lilliputian columnist Dave Walker wrote, "Harris played information technology like he was basically born to do information technology—light on his anxiety working the crowd or at middle phase without his pants, winkingly self-deprecating, moving-right-along when his prepared material didn't state (which was too oft)—and he now may have a chore for life if he wants it." Furthermore, praised the bandage and several musical numbers from the evidence.[57] David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter quipped, "Harris displayed winning charm and highly-seasoned insouciance, sprinkling the gags with moments of self-deprecation." In add-on, he remarked that several of the credence speeches and musical numbers provided a mix of humor, fun, and sincerity.[58]

Ratings and reception [edit]

The American telecast on ABC drew in an average 37.26 million people over it length, which was a fifteen% decrease from the previous yr's ceremony.[6] An estimated 63 one thousand thousand total viewers watched all or role of the awards.[59] The evidence also earned lower Nielsen ratings compared to the previous anniversary with twenty.vi% of households watching over a 33 share.[7] In addition, the program scored a lower 18–49 demo rating with an eleven.0 ratings over a 26 share.[sixty] It was the everyman viewership for an Academy Awards telecast since the 81st anniversary held in 2009.[61]
